I started these around Chrismas time, and after a very slow three week finishing I managed to get them upstairs this past weekend. The tabletops, aprons, drawer sides and shelf breadboards are from cherry boards that my dad had under his workbench for some 40 years. Apparently he got them from a neighbor who used to build horse sulkies? I had no idea what that was until I Googled it...
Anyway, I didn't have enough to finish them so I picked up some 6/4 cherry for the legs, shelf slats, drawer bottoms and backs. There's quite a bit of contrast between the woods. I have no idea if that will last being up in a sunny room, but for right now it's pretty neat.
Below you can see where the router bit moved on me (a bunch of test cuts and it decides to drop 1/16" on the LAST drawer side). I was able to patch the end grain on the front pretty well, the side is more noticeable.
